Horizon view
Horizon from Sharp A
47.6194° N, 42.6741° W · cell 18TCH
- Highest horizon point
- Sharp A: 21.0° above the horizontal, 7.58 km away at azimuth 63°.
- Farthest visible point
- 8.53 km away at azimuth 0°, 18.1° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 4,605 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is 5.3° above the smooth horizon at azimuth 98° but behind terrain: the skyline there rises to 18.4°. At 2026-10-22 17:08:20 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
